Carey Fork Coal and Iron Company

Messrs. ID. b. Carson, w. T. Muir
ray and Frank Spurlock went to Tul-
lahoma last Monday to attend a meet
ing of the shareholders of the Caney
Fork Coal and Iron Company. This
is one of the strongest Improvement
companies now operating in the
South. Thecompany controls 122, 900
acres of the finest mineral lands in the
Cumberland mountains, embracing
coal, iron and other minerals. Cop
per ore mined from their lands is now
being tested, and if the test proves
satisfactory, the necessary plant for a
full development Of this resource
will be put up at once. The Compa-
ny has been capitalized in the sum of
100000, and their stock is being
taken as fast as offered. The Compa-
ny has received a number of PROPOSE
tons from Pennsylvania and New
York capitalists to develop their
property. For a full development
of the property of this and other COM
panies now operating in Cumberland
Mountain mineral lands, it will be
necessary to build one or two lines OF
new railroad, and McMinnville
should and doubtless will, attract one
of these lines. AS point for a large
manufacturing and industrial center,
McMinnville possesses advantages
unsurpassed by any other town in
the South, and we believe the time is
near at hand when it will begin .

The Ring Finger.

"Why do we always wear our
wedding and engagement rings on
the fourth fingerw she asked as they
were about to leave the jewelers.
shop.
"The reason is," said the smiling
jeweler, "that in the olden times a
nerve was popularity supposed to
run from the fourth finger directly
to the heart. 1t used to be called the
healing finger, and physicians in
variably used it when they mixed
their medicines"

Fayetteville Express: From very
reliable dispatches sent to our leading
dailies at the capital we gather the
information that we will soon be in
the suburbs of one vast city reaching
from Chattanooga to New Orleans.
Companies are being organized with
unlimited capital to convert the
greater part of our southern railroads
into street car lines. Land being so
very valuable near the heart of this
projected metropolis it is more than
likely that the state of Tennessee will
soon be into the hands of a syndicate
as a building site for mammoth
union depot. The capacity OF Miss
issippi river will be largely increased
at an early day, and the whole
streamlet covered over and used for
sewer. Eye hath not seen and ear
hath not heard Of the vast proportions
these mining schemes will assume,
provided there is not a premature ex-
plosiou of gas.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Nashville American.
Themembers are beginning to show
the effects of city life. New clothes
and slick hats are appearing on every
side.
Mr.. Harris raised laugh yesterday
in asking that the reading of the
Journal be dispensed with until Col.
Savage could be walked up.
An important bill recommended
for passage by the Committee on
Finance, Ways and Means was one
raising the bond of the State Treasurer
from 800, 900 to $250,O0O
A recess will be taken rs soon as
the Treasurer and Comptroller are
elected, probably for a week. The
members will then return for solid
work.
The session is nearly one-third over
and nothing scarcely is done. The
State is paying about $1,000 per day
for members to meet and wrangle
and accomplish no good.
Mr.. Savage's Committee on FL
nance, Ways and Means has already
won the distinction of being the best
working committee in the House.
The resolution relative to the re-
moval of the remains of Ex-Gov.
John Sewer, introduced by Mr..
Lindsay, was voted down by a very
decided vote In the House.
More good, wholesome legislation
will most likely be done by the
present Legislature than by any that
has convened at the Capitol for many
years. m
Gov. Taylor enters gracefully and
cheerfully upon the discharge of his
duties. He is being pressed every
day by applicants for Office and their
friends, and he gives to each patient
hearing. No appointments have as
yet been made, but very soon the
applicants will know their fate.
Very great interest is being mani.
tested by the friends of the submission
measure overits fate, and the progress
of the matter in the Senate is attract
ing much attention. That the resolu-
ton will pass there seems to be very
little doubt, but the friends of pro-
hibition claim that they do not want
it weighted down with anything else.
Two measures of much Importance
to the school system of the State, now
being considered by the House Com
mittee on Education, is, first, the
question ofadopting uniform system
of text books, and second, the ques-
ton of redistricting the school dis
tricts of the State. The public school
system bids fair to be thoroughly
OVerhauled.
A very important bill was yester-
day reported to the House for passage
by the Committee on Finance, Ways
and Means, receiving the unanimous
support of the committee. 1t was in
trodueed by Mr.. Hammock, and
provides that coal oil inspectors shall
be allowed all the fees of the Office,
not to exceed 81 800, and all fees in
excess of that sum shall be paid into
the treasury Of the State. The bill
will likely pass.

A stir in Naval Circles

A recent publication issued, under au
thority Of the Navy Department, contain
ing all general orders and circulars issued
from 1868 to 1887, has created quite stir
in naval circles. One of the features of
the publication is list of the names Of
all officers who have been court martial
ed. There is nothing said about the
charges against any Of the officers, nor
whether they were convicted or found not
guilty. Such of the officers interested as
are yet in the naval service have yigor-
ously protested against the further circu-
lation of the book until the feature so OBJ
noNious TO them has been eliminated.
There have been 400 naval officers tried
by court-martial since the war ended.
Fully two-thirds Of these were commits
stoned officers and are still in the serv 5ce.
As majority Of them have taken occa
sion 10 protest. the mail of the Secretary
has yisihly increased since the copies Of
his excellent publication have been for
